This morning was really hard. I thought the more I did this whole waking up early thing, the easier it would get. WRONG! Once again, the day started off with PT at 5:30. Running day. But because half the Corps is gone to Camp Mendocino we couldn’t do regular PT groups so thank god they gave us a some-what easy day. We just had to walk as many laps as we could around the field. My teammate Dominique had a pedometer and apparently we walked 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. I walk faster than I jog!
After breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, most of us had a nice afternoon break. Today was AmeriDriver’s Ed. And as I said before- no fraggin way am I driving a 15-pasenger van! So we had a break from 8-1. NAPTIME! My roommates and I decided to enforce supplementary quiet hours during that time. From there we had to trek across campus to the supply depot where we had an intro to the tools we could potentially be using on a job site and participate in a team building activity.
We built a box out of wood to keep in the van between the driver and passenger seat to keep things from rolling around. We were given a sheet of plywood, tape measure, dimensions, a t-square, a pencil, and a chalk line.
always keep tools in a Circle of Safety!
I came to learn that I definitely do not want a construction project! I’m good with hammering and painting and simple things like that, but I’ve never been one for math. And after they let me have a turn with the skilsaw,
Danny was a wonderful teacher
I REALLY don’t like power tools other than a regular power drill. I think I’ll definitely be opting out of chainsaw training later this week.
But our box came out totally awesome and we decided we’re going to decorate each side more as we complete a round (there are 4 rounds in a service year= 4 different projects).

Our partially finished box! It won't be completely done until the end of the year!
After a wonderful dinner of vegetarian jambalaya cooked by our wonderful kitchen-mates, Green 4, my team wanted to do more team bonding. So we decided to go bowling.

We had a blast. My team is so great and so willing to have fun and sing! We totally rocked out Disney style in the AmeriVan on the way back to the dorms. I actually did a little better than last time.
Actully broke 100 this time!
Haven’t looked ahead enough in the schedule to know what I’m doing tomorrow but I know PT is not involved! Wednesday is NO PT DAY (unless someone on the team is late for/ misses it MTuThF, but hopefully that won’t happen)! So that means we get to sleep in (which now means waking up at some point after 5:30) and muster at 7:45!
